Pros & Cons
Pros
Bill watterson's genius cannot be overstated. Watterson is very psychologically gifted and insightful. Calvin and hobbes always brings a smile to my face.
This collection satisfies me in so many different ways. Good quality. Came ultra fast.
C&h is glossy and slick with great details. Includes commentary by the cartoonist at the bottom of each page along with each set of sunday panels.
The book is as valuable for its function in turning us away from this commodity culture as for the delightfulness of its reading content. The hardcover library version looks great. Amazing detail and crisp printing technique.
The'stuffed animal' makes the perfect complement. From slapstick comedy to pathos, it touches all the notes.
Cons
Title is decidedly deceiving. While watterson's work is wonderful, this is only 36 sunday strips (with the b&w versions facing) from 11 years.

Somehow the essense of calvin and hobbes has been lost in the world

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its original appreciation of the specialness of friendship the magical delight in small wonders of nature and the value of companionship over corporate commercialism has been reduced to tacky car stickers ripoff tshirts fraternity party drugkeg emblems and other meaningless displays of unimaginative thickheadedness
